Why the radio waves are similar to light waves but not sound wavesexplain?
Radio and light waves are electromagnetic waves, sound waves are not.
What travel faster a radio signal or sound in air explain?
Radio signals travel at (essentially) the speed of light, as they are electromagnetic waves like light. Sound waves travel at roughly 1200 km/h. Now you have enough information to answer your own question.
Are radio waves a form of sound or light?
When you listen to the radio, you are hearing sound, which has no resemblance to light, radio waves, or x-rays. However, the sounds you hear are created in the radio receiver, using information that was carried to your location by means of radio waves.
What type of light rays are there?
From highest to lowest: Gamma, X-ray, Infrared (heat), Visible (Red, Yellow, Green, Blue), Ultraviolet, Radio. Radio waves are not sound waves but are the light rays that sound is converted into before being sent to your radio and your radio converts these light rays back into sound.
Which wave requires a medium for transmission light radio infrared or sound?
Sound.
Are light radio and sound transverse waves?
Light is an electromagnetic wave; and those are transverse. Sound is usually a longitudinal wave.
Which of the following is not a transverse wave sound or radio wave or light or all of the above or none of the above?
Sound.
What does propogate faster a sound signal or a radio signal?
Radio signals propagate faster than sound signals. Speed of light (radio) is about 186,000 mps Speed of sound is about 1100 fps (0.5 mps).
Does a radio wave travel faster than a sound wave?
Radio waves are sound. Therefore, yes, by definition, they travel at the speed of sound.
How are light and sound similar?
They both travel fastly
Do radio waves travel at the speed of light at the speed of sound or something in between?
speed of light
Where waves are found?
Ocean, light, radio, sound..etc etc
